| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Cell | A basic unit of structure and function of living things. |
| Structure | What an organism is made of and how it is out together. |
| Function | Processes that enable an organism to stay alive and reproduce. |
| Cell Theory | -All living things are made of cells. -Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living things. -All cells are produced form other cells. |
| Compound Microscope | Two lens, one lens magnifies the other lens' magnification. (convex lens) |
| Resolution | Sharpens of an image. |
| Electron microscope | Uses a beam of electrons instead of light to produce a magnified image. |
| Organelles | Tiny cell structures that carry out specific function. |
| Cell Wall | A plant cell wall protects and supports the cell. |
| Cell Membrane | Controls what substances go into and out of a cell. |
| Nuclease | Control center of the cell. |
| Nuclear Envelope | Membrane that protects the nucleus. |
| Nucleolus | Makes ribosomes creates them. |
| Mitochondria | “Powerhouse” of the cell, they convert foods energy to energy that cell can use to carry out its functions. |
| Chromatin | Strands that contain genetic materials that instructs the cell how to grow. |
| Endoplasmic Reticulum | Passageways that carry proteins and other materials from one part of the cell to another. |
| Ribosomes | Small grain like body that produce proteins. |
| Golgi Bodies | Receives proteins and other materials and other package and send them to other parts of the cell. |
| Chloroplast | Captures energy from sunlight and uses to produce food for plant cells. |
| Vacuoles | A large water filled sac, stores food and other materials. |
| Lysosomes | “Clean up crew” round structures containing chemicals that breakdown materials. |
